2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

     AER Energy Resources, Inc. was incorporated on July 17, 1989 and since
inception has engaged in the development and commercialization of high energy
density, rechargeable zinc-air batteries.  The Company's operations to date
have primarily been focused on developing and updating the technology, setting
up the manufacturing process, testing and selling zinc-air batteries,
recruiting personnel and similar activities.  The Company began selling its
first product in August 1994.  Sales from August 1994 through March 31, 1997
have been minimal.  Until significant product sales occur, the Company is
considered to be a development stage company for financial reporting purposes.


Cash and Cash Equivalents

     Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, bank deposits and highly liquid
investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased and are
stated at cost, which approximates market.

Use of Estimates

     In accordance with FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," the Company
records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events
and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the
undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than
the carrying amounts of those assets.  Based on the Company's estimate of
future undiscounted cash flows, the Company expects to recover the carrying
amounts of its fixed assets.  Nonetheless, it is reasonably possible that the
estimate of undiscounted cash flows may change in the near term resulting in
the need to write-down those assets to fair value.  During the three months
ended March 31, 1996, the Company recorded a write-off of obsolete equipment
with a net book value of $7,890, which was included in marketing, general and
administrative expenses.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

     Since its inception, the Company has been a development stage company
primarily engaged in developing rechargeable zinc-air battery technology,
establishing the manufacturing process, defining and developing market
opportunities, testing and selling rechargeable zinc-air batteries and
recruiting and training personnel. The Company currently markets the AER Energy
PowerSlice LXTM, a zinc-air accessory battery designed for the Hewlett-Packard
OmniBook 600 and 800 portable computers.  The Company has recorded limited
revenue from the sales of this product for the three month period ended March
31, 1997.  The Company has incurred cumulative losses of $47.7 million since
inception to March 31, 1997.  The Company expects to continue to incur
operating losses at least through the end of 1998.

     The Company was formed to develop and commercialize rechargeable zinc-air
batteries for portable electronic products using technology licensed from
Dreisbach Electromotive, Inc. ("DEMI").  DEMI was formed in 1982 to conduct
research and development on electric vehicles and battery systems utilizing,
among others, zinc-air technology.  DEMI's zinc-air development programs
included applications for electric vehicles and portable products.  The Company
has licensed, through DEMI (the "DEMI License"), the rights to use certain DEMI
technology including zinc-air, in non-motor vehicle applications, while DEMI
has retained the rights to zinc-air technology for motor vehicle applications
and to its other technologies for motor vehicle applications and batteries
producing over 500 watts continuous power output.  Effective October 15, 1993,
the DEMI License was amended so that, under certain circumstances, some or all
of the royalties due under the DEMI License are payable to the shareholders of
DEMI rather than to DEMI.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996

     The Company generated net revenues of $12,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, compared to $15,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

     The Company's cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
$294,000 as compared to $554,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The high cost of sales is primarily due to the manufacturing inefficiencies and
high material costs resulting from low production volumes.

     Research and development expenses increased to $1,194,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, from $656,000 for the same period in 1996.  This
increase was primarily the result of an allocation of $423,000 in manufacturing
overhead costs to research and development,



                                    Page 8

<PAGE>   9

reflecting the extensive use of the Company's manufacturing facilities for
technology development and product testing during the three months ended March
31, 1997.  The Company also experienced an $82,000 increase in material, design
and tooling costs, a $32,000 increase in personnel related costs, and a $13,000
increase in facility costs in the quarter ended March 31, 1997, as compared to
the same period in 1996.  These increases were partially offset by a $9,000
decrease in depreciation expense.

     Marketing, general and administrative expenses decreased to $774,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $791,000 for the same period in
1996.  This decrease was due to a $56,000 reduction in warranty expense, a
$34,000 decrease in the write-off of obsolete inventory, and a $25,000
reduction in minimum royalty expense pursuant to the DEMI License.  The Company
also experienced a $20,000 decrease in facility costs, a $20,000 decrease in
professional fees, and a $20,000 decrease in marketing, advertising and public
relations expense.  These decreases in the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
compared to the same period in 1996 were partially offset by a $124,000
increase in personnel related costs in 1997 and a $34,000 credit to bad debt
expense in 1996 resulting from the collection of a receivable that had been
written off.


LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

     As of March 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $16.7
million.  The Company anticipates using these funds as needed to fund capital
equipment purchases, research and development efforts, sales and marketing
activities, production of commercial and prototype zinc-air battery products,
development of relationships with portable computer manufacturers (OEMs), 
working capital and general corporate purposes as determined by management.  
In the interim, the Company invests any excess funds in government securities 
and other short-term, investment grade, interest-bearing instruments.

     Net cash used in operating activities increased to $1.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 from $1.8 million for the same period in
1996, primarily due to the increases in costs and expenses discussed above in
"Results of Operations".

     For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company used net cash of
$113,000 for equipment purchases as compared to $43,000 for equipment purchases
and leasehold improvements for the same period in 1996.

     During the three months ended March 31, 1997, $200,000 in principal of the
Company's 8% convertible debentures plus accrued interest were converted into
88,490 shares of the Company's common stock at an average conversion price of
$2.47 per share.

     Pursuant to the DEMI License, the Company has agreed to pay DEMI royalties
of 4% of net sales, subject to certain minimum amounts and to possible
increases or decreases to a maximum of 4% and a minimum of 2%, as specified in
the DEMI License.  The applicable percentage of royalties is currently 4% of net
sales.  The Company recorded royalty expense for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 of $25,000 and $50,000, respectively.



                                    Page 9

<PAGE>   10

Minimum royalty expenses are included in marketing, general and administrative
expenses in the statements of operations.  Actual royalties due as a percentage
of sales under the DEMI License are recorded in cost of sales.  As of March 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996, $35,000 and $30,000, respectively, of these royalty
payments remained unpaid.  The future minimum royalty payments specified by the
DEMI License consist of the following:

Year Ending December 31,

<TABLE>
     <S>                                                 <C>
     1997................................................$100,000
     1998................................................$100,000
     1999................................................$ 50,000

</TABLE>


     The Company currently anticipates that its existing cash balances will
fund operations and continue technology development at the current level of
activity into 1998.  However, it may be necessary for the Company to increase
its research and development and marketing expenses as it continues to work to
improve its zinc-air technology and to expand its relationships with portable
computer OEMs.  It may also be necessary for the Company to expand its
manufacturing capacity in order to meet anticipated 1997 sales requirements.
The Company will continue to need working capital beyond that generated by its
May 1996 stock and warrant placement, and depending on the Company's results of
operations, the Company may find it necessary to obtain additional working
capital on an accelerated basis or in amounts greater than currently
anticipated.  There can be no assurance that additional equity or debt
financing will be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company.
To date, both costs and development times have substantially exceeded the
Company's forecasts.  In addition, the battery business is a chemical
processing business and, as such, the Company will require specialized
equipment to manufacture its zinc-air batteries.  Future equipment additions
could exceed current Company estimates in cost, complexity and development
time.

     The market price of the Company's common stock has fluctuated
significantly since it began to be publicly traded on July 1, 1993 and may
continue to be highly volatile.  Factors such as delays by the Company in
achieving development goals, inability of the Company to commercialize or
manufacture its products, fluctuation in the Company's operating results,
changes in earning estimates by analysts, announcements of technological
innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors, perceived
changes in the markets for various OEM applications incorporating the
Company's products, the announcement or termination of relationships with OEMs,
and general market conditions may cause significant fluctuations in the market
price of the Company's common stock.  The market prices of the stock of many
high technology companies have fluctuated substantially, often unrelated to the
operating or research and development performance of the specific companies.
Such market fluctuations could adversely affect the market price for the
Company's common stock.
